In March, a parcel bomb from Greece was intercepted on its way to then German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble. The Conspiracy of Fire Cells claimed responsibility for this bomb. Another letter bomb wounded an employee of the International Monetary Fund in Paris.

Greek authorities have also intercepted parcel bombs addressed to European Union leaders and institutions.

The Conspiracy of Fire Cells emerged during Greece’s economic crisis in 2008 and 2009. Greek police also believe the group was behind a wave of parcel bombs sent to embassies in Athens in 2010.
